    First OD pedal

    https://www.guitarpedalx.com/news/gpx-blog/12-degrees-of-saturation---key-guitar-overdrive-fuzz-and-distortion-sounds For a first OD pedal for blues and rock, may I kindly suggest all kinds except fuzz and extreme/metal. On this site, a good starting point is anything from the "overdrive"...

    Comments on this power supply appreciated!

    Power check (1 A is more than enough), center negative check, barrel size... 2.1mm is the diameter of the inner pin... this looks standard... check. Make sure you get a standard DC jack on your build. All looks good to me. Readers, please chime in for any helpful comments.

    Conqueror Fuzz

    Is it possibly that 470 uF capacitor that is soaking the voltage on startup?

    Fv1rtuoso Architect - FV-1 Dev pedal

    Outstanding graphics, you should double whatever price your graphics designer is charging you. So much power in 8 little pins.

    Yes, these are the "orange drop" style capacitors, those are the ones I sourced, since I am familiar with them. I have used the same style on tube amp projects. As you can see, they need a little more room, so they look a little physically oversize. I realize these are less aesthetic than the...

    Pro-tip to readers from other newsgroups... strive to make your combination pedals as clean as you see above. :)

    Basic Workflow Tips for Building a PedalPCB

    Outstanding pro-tips. Appreciate the notes on flux cleaning in particular... need to try this method next time. Also the heat shrink is a sign of pro quality equipment for sure. :) Thanks a ton!

    You must be a tube amp builder with those shielded input/output cables. :) Awesome build.

    Parentheses Fuzz (in progress)

    I am going to leave this right here... They asked their producer do we have that wall of sound yet? He replied, no, just a wall of voodoo. :)

    Components and specs

    In very general terms, you will have regular (small) transistors that can handle the voltage and current for a guitar pedal. E.g.: http://smallbear-electronics.mybigcommerce.com/general-instrument-house-9275-1-pnp/ In other non-guitar applications, you will have large power transistors that...

    Components and specs

    Remember, the voltage specification of the capacitors is the maximum voltage they can take. Most pedals use 9 (sometimes 12 or 18) volts. So 25V and 100V capacitors are totally ok from that regard.

    Obne effects

    I am a fan of their guitar pedals for sure. Their enclosures are works of art, like Walrus, Wampler, Keeley, etc. pedals (to name a few). https://reverb.com/item/25423395-old-blood-noise-endeavors-reflector

    Unicab questions

    If it was my project, working with transformer output from a power amp, I would go conservative and keep to the spec. Small Bear has orange drop capacitors that should work for you... http://smallbear-electronics.mybigcommerce.com/sprague-715-1/

    Hello, my name is bifurcation and I don't know how to use a multimeter

    First rule to remember with a multimeter is... if you are measuring current (amperes), do so IN SERIES with your working circuit, especially if you are using an analog meter. E.g., the guitar pedal circuit is drawing 5mA. It is possible that your multimeter has protections against over...

    Unicab questions

    Yes, in my estimation you could do it that way. It looks like the Red Box device has separate jacks so that there is no mixup [being a consumer item]. I have seen an instr. level/line level switch for an FX loop, which is similar to your application. Schematic reference...
